The focus of the second edition is primarily to update the text incorporating all the advances in materials, instruments, and techniques, which have revolutionized endodontics in the past few years. This edition has been thoroughly updated. New chapters have been added ('Drugs Used in Endodontics', 'Endodontic Case Selection', and 'Ethics in Endodontics' among others. All chapters have expanded text and figures in view of recent developments. The main topics are summarized in boxes and tables for ready reference. Many line diagrams and clinical photographs have been added throughout. The book will be an asset for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as teachers and practitioners interested in the subject of endodontics.</span><br></p>
